So, I undervoltaged my CPU a bit, thus it runs cooler now.
Now I can run BOINK while on higher clocks. Had tune down the clocks a bit before, as the sucka was getting a bit too hot.
Hope that will yield me / us a bit more points over time.

Also, is it normal that the GPU WU does nothing half the time? My GPU WU alternates between running normally for a few minutes and then having no GPU activity for about a minute. Like this, it takes ~ 10 minutes for each one to complete. And it spends around four minutes without any GPU activity through the time it finishes.
So yeah, is that normal, or do I have a problem here?

This is normal--the GPU WUs run mostly on the GPU, but also have some CPU-only work. What you're seeing is that. This is part of the reason that many of us will run multiple WUs on a single GPU--that way they can overlap and we don't lose as much to this on/off eccentricity.

I started experimenting with running multiple GPU WUs
I am pleased with the results - I get a sweet increase in overall performance of ~10%

But I have a bit of a problem: to make it work, I had to upgrade to BOINC 7.0.60
On it, my GPU WUs tend to hang randomly. I have to suspend & unsuspended GPU activity to restart it. This happens both when I run a single GPU WU and when I run two WUs. Any ideas how to fix this?

P.S. I lost almost a whole night's worth of GPU work because of this - when I left it for the night and went to sleep, it hanged after completing 4 GPU jobs. Of course, I only unclogged it when I got up...

Having odd issues: when running two GPU WUs at the same time, they alternate to the pair finishing surprisingly fast to surprisingly slow. I decided to go 1 WU, because that at least works consistently.
Also, my computer is much more responsive with only one WU, so the choice was easy.
(one WU takes ~10 minutes. While a WU pair takes from 14 to 27 minutes of working parallel.)

Oh I'm not saying its bad. I've just been accustomed to free-dc's format and numbers, and their pretty pies. I've noticed that BOINCstats is sometimes different than free-dc's, which isn't a big deal to me, but since I just added the other system this week, I've been trying to get an idea of what it's capable of, according to numbers that I'm used to.

The point totals are the same between the two sites but BOINCStats seems to use a different ppd start/end point..... It seems to be off by 12 hours but am not completely sure

** EDIT- there appears to be a 9 hour difference in closing times for ppd reporting between BOINCStats and FreeDC (see below)

At 15:00GMT each day all new info from the XML files is imported into the BOINCstats database. New users/teams/countries are inserted at this point, and daily/weekly/monthly numbers are calculated. When there is no new XML file for more then a day, the stats will show zero credits for those days.

The numbers from this update are used to display the numbers on the frontpage and the detailed stats pages.

Okay, I decided I should make a headless [almost] dedicated cruncher of my spare FX-8120
Just gotta buy some cheap-ass mobo and some RAM. Gonna make it network booted and make it store data on my main machine through NFS, to save cash.
This might take a while to configure properly, though. As I never made a network booted computer / config before.

I'd suggest against that TBH. Even a 4 or 8GB USB drive with Ubuntu or Linux Mint x64 would be a better solution--then it isn't dependent on the network and the configuration is much easier. Or something like a 20GB HDD would even work...
